The other pilot apparently figured that if an F-15 could land with no wing, then obviously a Viper could land with part of a wing. He flew over 100 miles and landed safely.
(Obviously I don't know what he was thinking, just going for humor)

As the instructor's cockpit filled with smoke and he became disoriented the student pilot radioed for him to "bailout, bailout, bailout," according to the report.
Thanks to hearing that call, he said, he ejected in time and suffered only minor injuries.

It's still landed by pilot input. The computers assist with the control movements but the pilot does the work.

Well you need a pilot to understand what the craft can do and it cant do. Maybe telepresence would be better instead of a monitor though. Put those simulators to work.

I'd go with that. Have the drone pilot hooked to a simulator that has immense force-feedback....let'em feel what it is like in the bird. Although, the recent advances in controlling devices with thought has potential too.
